Los Angeles, CA. Cardinal Roger Mahony violates his own office when calling for his priests to defy U. S. Immigration Laws. This according to Stanley Interrante, host of the "Catholic News & Views" Radio show, when he appeared in a seven minute rebuttal video blog with Cardinal Mahony on the Full Disclosure Network® (FDN). This rebuttal video blog is available for viewing FREE as a public service of FDN. Also appearing on the video blog is L. A. County Sheriff Lee Baca and host Leslie Dutton.
In this video, Cardinal Roger Mahoney described the Church's immigration role: "the Church is not the Border Patrol, I cannot be concerned how they got here, I need to find out how I can serve them."
Interrante, whose radio program is featured on EWTN International Satellite on St. Joseph's Radio, founded by Mother Angelica, is also a retired Fraud Detective from the Orange County Sheriff's Department. Citing specific doctrine from the Catechism, Interrante demonstrates what is seen as a conflict in Cardinal Mahony's position and that of Catholic Church teachings.
Shortly after Cardinal Mahony's statements were reported by the media, Father Michael Gutierrez at St. Anne Catholic Church in Santa Monica was quoted in the as saying that his church would welcome immigrants, regardless of any laws Congress may pass. "This is not our Law" he said, "we follow God's Law."
The Full Disclosure® video new blog shows various protester signs and messages which feature communist agitator Che Gueverra and socialist slogans. Exclusive video coverage of the April 2006 Costa Mesa demonstration includes Teamster Union Officials who rally the immigrant crowd to stirring chants, and waiving flags, including Teamster Official Patrick Kelley who was a speaker on the platform, urging undocumented aliens to become citizens.
Moderated by Leslie Dutton, the Full Disclosure® video news blogs are produced by the independent public affairs television program and billed as "the news behind the news". Featured on 43 cable systems and the worldwide Internet website www.fulldisclosure.net, in 2002 the program was presented with a public affairs Emmy Award from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences entitled "L.A.'s War Against Terrorism". Channels and airtimes can be found on the website.

Mahoney is a scumbag. He is the biggest reason Ileft the church and would never go back. His antics over the years showed me just how corrupt and evil this criminal group is.
What happened to "thou shall not steal"?
Illegal aliens steal our resources from the gate, this Mahoney has been aiding and abetting the criminal invasion taking place in this country since the 1980's--he is ONE OF THE SINGLE MOST EVIL MEN IN THIS COUNTRY!

In my view, current law requires tax exempt organizations, like churches, to stay out of politics. If the Catholic Church want to engage in the political debate on any topic they should have their tax exempt status revoked; then they can participate like everyone else. They simply can't have it both ways, pay no taxes and still engage in politics in violation of the law.
With respect to advocating civil disobedience, those who arrogantly violate the law should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Cardinal Mahoney should have already been prosecuted for his actions in the child sexual abuse scandals. The notion that religious leaders are above the law must be slapped down hard. In my view the Catholic Church has already been involved in enough criminality to be prosecuted using the RICO law provisions.
The view held by Catholic Church officials that they answer to a higher power than civil law is one terrible consequence of ignoring rule of law time and time again by those in high places. From Presidents who commit violations of the law or who intentionally ignore the laws with which they disagree to Presidents who intentionally violate their oaths of office by selectively enforcing violations of law of which they are aware on down to millions of illegal aliens who openly violate our laws with impunity. This makes people like Cardinal Mahoney believe he is above the law.
Slap him down hard

The Church has always been protective of those who have no one else to speak for them. The Church is responsibile for all of there charges.

This corrupt so called wann be "cardinal" should get shipped to mexico and let him live there if he loves the illegals so much.
Someone should tell him that his stupid religion is over anyway, and no one takes him and his molesting team of priest seriosly anyway.
If he had any balls, he would be hung by them.

I think all illegal immigrants should not be tolerated and allowed to live and work here!There is enough "LEGAL IMMIGRANTS" here to do the AG work that we need them for but they are taking restaurant,gardening,construction and any other jobs that legal Americans need and want!Just like cockroaches they are having millions of babies and moving here to stay and take over!NO,NO,NO!!This is all wrong and we need to deport the illegal ones and they can get in line like what the law says! There country wouldn't let Americans go there and try to live and work!! This is all BULL....!

This guy is violating God's commandments in the Holy Scriptures and should be disciplined by the Church!
Romans 13:
"1Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. 4For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience. 6This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing. 7Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor."

and what the hell you are asking for money if you are a none profit org. old junk lady! I suggest you to study your past by taking some history class! remember that all of you were immigrants too. according to the white heritage history, all of those who came to destroy my
people and took our land were criminals
expulsed from europa. and by the way, the only requirement to enter
into my territory, (which is America) was that must free of infectious illness and fleas.

Illegal immigration is multifaceted. Along with illegals seeking work come criminals, drug traffickers and terrorists. Is the cardinal concerned about the Americans who not only pay the monumental expenses of illegals but are victimized by the crime and drugs and who become vulnerable because of possible terrorism. Three of the terrorists planning an attack on our soldiers at Fort Dix NJ were illegal aliens.

Another reason to drive Catholics away from the church. To outsiders we're just a bunch of pedophile protecting whacko's. Now we advocate breaking the law. Next we'll be plotting to overthrow the government. What a bunch of nuts - yet the loyal parishoners give literally MILLIONS of their hard earned dollars to support what? Illegal activity? To pay the hush money or the plane ticket to send these child molesting freaks out of the country and away from prosecution? Hopefully, God WILL sort it all out at the Pearly Gates . Makes me sick and ashamed to admit I was raised catholic.....
